Nice catch. Having to take that second action of clicking an arrow key might/probably does involve screensaver but doesn't make sense intuitively to someone in my *cognitive* Shoes.. And yet it DOES make sense because it's the computer coming out of suspension and back into the exact state it was in pre-suspend. EXCEPT....... That's when it then doesn't make sense to me. It shouldn't be doing *ANYTHING*, it shouldn't be revealing *ANYTHING* related to what's going on behind the locked screen else it rats out private, sensitive activity to a potential invader. It's been a while since it happened, but I've had it also *regularly* blip sensitive information on the screen while still locked. Information stayed up long enough for content currently being written, worked on to be successfully viewed. Good example there would be both an open Mousepad document and an open, very populated Libreoffice Calc sheet. That the screensaver running behind the locked screen is part of having to hit the up arrow key to log back in says something similar is still occurring. Uneducated kneejerk is it FEELS LIKE it's about the last activity before suspend being presented, being viewable while still under lock and key. I'd meant to address that here on the list back when I was seeing it more, but it's one of those out of sight, out of mind deals combined with Life in motion... *gah* For Rick, in contemplating my answer to RLH here, I went in to my Xfce4 Power Manager settings and nosed around. Maybe there's something there that might help? Especially now that I've written what I did above, maybe you don't have screensaver running but maybe you DO have yours set to turn off the display completely after a certain period of time? Or something like that... If yours is doing anything similar to mine, maybe that would explain you seeing a blank screen where I see a screensaver and other more vital, vulnerable activities before I sign back in... OR NOT...... *grin* Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with plastic sporks *
